My Life Was the Size of My Life by Jane Hirshfield
what a word: besotted
Care. Be fascinated. Chase ideas down shorelines.
Lost on You on repeat. Fuck. I will grow my forest.
git commit -m "wip: debugging memory, still leaking"
I shall be an imposing walrus.
And I'll probably crash your stupid car
— Olivia Dean, Nice to Each Other
And make your life a misery
~vItAlItY~
Hot & Idling
A wanting machine,
overheated, idling.
What am I to do
with all this wanting?
All that Wanting, Right? by Devin Kelly
wanna write poems, not papers
my mind makes metaphors of men
pushes emotional glut to prod
i had to—
grieve, i mean.
all those wasted years.
all these wasted tears.
tired of all these physical parts
fresh out of fucks forever
— Lana Del Rey, Venice Bitch
living: a life sentence
more than flesh and bones interlocking
lungs swollen with grief not mine to breathe
dreaming in progress
they linger
snapshots stretched
space-filling curves
